What about Larry Coker?

The guy won a national championship (would have been three, if not for biases and terrible officiating), and is doing some good things at UTSA. He can also recruit Texas and Florida.

Too old, glory days long gone with him, bloom off the rose, etc.

 

[MozRU]

The dude is like 80yrs old dude!

Don't be ageists.

Bill Snyder is doing okay and is older than Coker.

You want to hire someone who will be 73 at the end of his first contract?

He also relies on Kansas huge Juco system and take guys who no one else could possibly get past admissions. Their are always outliers and he is one of them.

Larry Coker inherited a National Championship squad. He underperformed from then on out. He's too old to hit the recruiting trail with vigor.

Simple solution: bring back Carl "800 SAT's are fine with me" Kirshner as well.

Great idea! If it doesn't work out Howard Schnellenberger may be interested...

What about Don Shula?

He can not recruit. That's why he was fired at Miami. He won with the other coaches talent and then went downhill when his recruits started playing.

This is what happens with a lot of assistants that are promoted internally. The assistants don't have the charisma to get the good recruits.
